How to decrease for the toe on a knitted sock

In this DROPS video we show how to decrease to shape the toe on a knitted sock. We show here a basic decrease for toe - there are many variations. We insert a marker each side with same number of sts on needles on upper and under foot. Then dec for toe on each side of both markers and 2 K sts each side as follows – beg 3 sts before end of needle in first side: slip 1 st, K1, pass slipped st over, place marker, K1, on next needle K1, K2 tog. Repeat the dec on each side of foot on every row as in video, or on every other row for a longer toe, until 8 sts left on needle. Cut the thread, pull through remaining sts and fasten. You must read the pattern to be able to follow. You’ll find patterns where you can use this technique by clicking on the pictures below.

How to decrease to a toe in a sock.

In this DROPS video we show you how to decrease the toe in the sock in DROPS 189-36. We have already inserted 1 marker in each side of the foot. Decrease to toe on each side of each marker as follows: Work until there are 3 stitches left before the marker, knit 2 stitches twisted together, knit 2 (the marker sits in the middle of these 2 stitches) and knit 2 together, repeat at the second marker. Decrease like this every round until there are 8 stitches left, knit 2 and 2 stitches together on the next round = 4 stitches.
